In der Woche vom 7. – 11. Mai hatte Lorena die Möglichkeit an der State of the World Week am European College of Liberal Arts (ECLA) teilzunehmen. Fünf Tage Vorträge und Diskussionen zum Thema Social Entrepreneurship mit Beiträgen von Christian Seelos (IESE Business School, Barcelona), Nir Tsuk (Director of the Global fellowship Program, Ashoka), Krzysztof Stanowski (Ashoka Fellow, Poland), Adam Davis (Project on Civic Reflection, University of Chicago) und Paola Grenier (London School of Economics). Die Zeit war sehr inspirierend! Danke ECLA für all die Unterstützung!

"Social entrepeneurs play the role of change agents in the social sector, by:
* Adopting a mission to create and sustain social value (not just private value),
* Recognizing and relentlessly puruing new opportunities to serve that mission,
* Engaging in a process of continuous innovation, adaptation, and learning,
* Acting boldly without being limited by resourses currently in hand, and
* Exhibiting heightened accountability to the constituencies served and for the outcomes created."
